“Here’s a question for you Rob,” says Chris Caulfield. “Why do refs invariably add on less time at the end of the first half than the second? The ref added on two minutes there after no end of naughtiness, injuries, dissent and convoluted celebrations. Lingard was down for two minutes after the first attack.”

I have no idea. You are right though – there could have been seven or eight minutes of added time.

“Just so you know, Panama’s tactics are standard in Concacaf,” says Kevin Smith. “The difference is the referees in Concacaf accept it. Particularly in favour of the home team. Then add in more diving, simulation, embellishment, time wasting, etc. Concacaf is, generally, a disgrace and I would love to see VAR brought to World Cup qualifying to clean up some of the bull.”

GOAL! England 5-0 Panama (Kane 45+1 pen)

England have scored five goals in a World Cup game for the first time in their history - and it’s not even half time! Kane gets his fourth of the tournament with an identical penalty to the first, hit brutally into the left side of the net. He is now the joint top scorer in the tournament.
